* ipv6: Fix for adding multicast route for loopback device automatically.Li Wei2011-12-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no obvious reason to add a default multicast route for loopback devices, otherwise there would be a route entry whose dst.error set to -ENETUNREACH that would blocking all multicast packets. ==================== [ more detailed explanation ] The problem is that the resulting routing table depends on the sequence of interface's initialization and in some situation, that would block all muticast packets. Suppose there are two interfaces on my computer (lo and eth0), if we initailize 'lo' before 'eth0', the resuting routing table(for multicast) would be # ip -6 route show | grep ff00:: unreachable ff00::/8 dev lo metric 256 error -101 ff00::/8 dev eth0 metric 256 When sending multicasting packets, routing subsystem will return the first route entry which with a error set to -101(ENETUNREACH). I know the kernel will set the default ipv6 address for 'lo' when it is up and won't set the default multicast route for it, but there is no reason to stop 'init' program from setting address for 'lo', and that is exactly what systemd did. I am sure there is something wrong with kernel or systemd, currently I preferred kernel caused this problem. ==================== Signed-off-by: Li Wei <lw@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | ipv6: fix route lookup in addrconf_prefix_rcv()Andreas Hofmeister2011-10-301-3/+40
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The route lookup to find a previously auto-configured route for a prefixes used to use rt6_lookup(), with the prefix from the RA used as an address. However, that kind of lookup ignores routing tables, the prefix length and route flags, so when there were other matching routes, even in different tables and/or with a different prefix length, the wrong route would be manipulated. Now, a new function "addrconf_get_prefix_route()" is used for the route lookup, which searches in RT6_TABLE_PREFIX and takes the prefix-length and route flags into account.

* | ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are acceptedTore Anderson2011-09-161-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the "accept_ra" sysctl is used. The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode ("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore been removed. Rationale for the change: Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent, otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the following cases: * accept_ra=0, forwarding=0 * accept_ra=0, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=1, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=2, forwarding=1 In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.) Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect to be the case.

| * net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()Eric Dumazet2011-08-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

* ipv6: Silence privacy extensions initializationRomain Francoise2011-01-181-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a network namespace is created (via CLONE_NEWNET), the loopback interface is automatically added to the new namespace, triggering a printk in ipv6_add_dev() if CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY is set. This is problematic for applications which use CLONE_NEWNET as part of a sandbox, like Chromium's suid sandbox or recent versions of vsftpd. On a busy machine, it can lead to thousands of useless "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" messages appearing in dmesg. It's easy enough to check the status of privacy extensions via the use_tempaddr sysctl, so just removing the printk seems like the most sensible solution.

* | rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomicThomas Graf2010-11-271-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already leaving the link behind in a undefined state. This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to commit the changes later. This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the validation function method will not be able to detect all error scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex and thus may change between validation and setting. Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and config blocks for address families which did not register a set function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without notifying the user.

Change it to expose these values in msecs like the sysctl interface does. I did not find any users of IFLA_PROTINFO which rely on any of these values and even if there are, they are likely already broken because there is no way for them to reliably convert such a value to another time format.

* ipv6: addrconf: don't remove address state on ifdown if the address is being ↵Lorenzo Colitti2010-11-121-16/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kept Currently, addrconf_ifdown does not delete statically configured IPv6 addresses when the interface is brought down. The intent is that when the interface comes back up the address will be usable again. However, this doesn't actually work, because the system stops listening on the corresponding solicited-node multicast address, so the address cannot respond to neighbor solicitations and thus receive traffic. Also, the code notifies the rest of the system that the address is being deleted (e.g, RTM_DELADDR), even though it is not. Fix it so that none of this state is updated if the address is being kept on the interface. Tested: Added a statically configured IPv6 address to an interface, started ping, brought link down, brought link up again. When link came up ping kept on going and "ip -6 maddr" showed that the host was still subscribed to there Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti <lorenzo@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Usage count = 1 due to twice detection of duplicate address. Problem is caused by a missing decrease of ifp->refcnt in addrconf_dad_failure. An extra call of in6_ifa_put(ifp) solves it.

* IPv6: Temp addresses are immediately deleted.Glenn Wurster2010-10-261-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a bug in the interaction between ipv6_create_tempaddr and addrconf_verify. Because ipv6_create_tempaddr uses the cstamp and tstamp from the public address in creating a private address, if we have not received a router advertisement in a while, tstamp + temp_valid_lft might be < now. If this happens, the new address is created inside ipv6_create_tempaddr, then the loop within addrconf_verify starts again and the address is immediately deleted. We are left with no temporary addresses on the interface, and no more will be created until the public IP address is updated. To avoid this, set the expiry time to be the minimum of the time left on the public address or the config option PLUS the current age of the public interface.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines. In addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure. But if module loading fails, or if the ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call, which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in subsequent registrations. This patch cleans up both the failed load path and the unload path. Tested by myself with good results.
